May I ask what makes you more productive with vscode? Coming from decades of emacs I'm always wondering if I should try it. If anything because emacs is a huge time sink. You can get lost customizing it to your needs and forget that what you needed in the first place was get the work done.

It's basically all the benefits of an expertly configured and finely tuned emacs setup, except maintained by other open source developers so competently that your only time spent configuring your editor is clicking "Install Plugin" the first time you open a file written in the language/framework you use. Sensible defaults, batteries included.

The only downside is that as a web tech app it can have some noticeable latency. But on a beefy dev laptop or workstation the difference shouldn't be noticeable.
